Where to meet singles in Lausanne

Places to go, apps to consider and what to check before signing up: a guide to meeting people in Lausanne and the canton of Vaud.

The Olympic capital on the shores of Lake Geneva, Lausanne blends student life, culture and lakeside charm. For a first date, the Olympic Museum, the Ouchy waterfront or a lively Flon terrace make an ideal setting in Lausanne.

In Lausanne, apps differ less in features than in two very practical things: how dense the local pool is, and what it costs you to send a single message.

Two things are worth checking before creating a profile anywhere: whether sending messages costs money — that is where most platforms put their tollgate — and where your data is hosted. If you can travel a little, widening the search changes a lot: Pully, Prilly, Renens are all within reach of Lausanne.
